Don Malbec Mendoza 75 cl
Don Malbec Mendoza from Bodegas Escorihuela Gascón is a single-varietal Malbec from the Uco Valley in Mendoza. The wine belongs to the bodega’s higher-quality line and shows a concentrated yet balanced interpretation of this grape variety. The grapes come from a high-altitude site where intense sunlight, dry conditions and marked temperature differences between day and night support slow ripening and clear aromatic expression. Ageing for 16 months in 100% French barriques gives the wine additional depth, structure and fine spice, without covering the fruit. In the glass, it shows a deep cherry-red colour. On the nose, intense aromas of dark fruits unfold, especially blackberries and plums, accompanied by fine spice notes. On the palate, it combines subtle tannins, juicy freshness and finely supportive oak notes in a balanced, long finish.
